Tradução e adaptação cultural da Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale para o português

Abstract

Objectives: Translate and adapt the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES) to the cultural reality of Brazil and evaluate the content validity of the Portuguese version, so that it can be used in the Brazilian population. Methods: The study was made in two phases (1-Protocol translation and cultural adaptation, and 2-Validity of Content). Results: The total score ranged from 93 to 162 points (M = 127.03, SD = 19.62). When considering only women who bore many children, the score scale ranged from 106 to 156 (M = 131.66, SD = 15.91). The translated version proved to be easy to understand, showing good consistency and semantic validation. The Index for the Validation of Content was 0.84 and the Cronbach's alpha = 0.90. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the BSES is suitable for screening the maternal confidence in its potentiality to breastfeed. However, it is necessary to evaluate the psychometric properties of this instrument in samples with different social and educational levels, and in other regions of Brazil Keywords: Self efficacy; Breast feeding; Validation studies RESUMO Objetivos: traduzir e adaptar a Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale ( BSES), para a realidade cultural do Brasil e avaliar a validade de conteúdo da versão em português, para que possa ser utilizada na população brasileira. Métodos: O estudo envolveu duas fases (1. protocolo de tradução e adaptação cultural e 2. validade de conteúdo). Resultados: O escore total variou de 93 a 162 pontos (M = 127,03; DP = 19,62). Quando considerado apenas as multíparas, a pontuação da escala variou de 106 a 156 (M = 131,66; DP = 15,91). A versão mostrou ser de fácil compreensão, obtendo-se adequada validação semântica e de consistência. O Índice de Validação de Conteúdo foi 0,84 e o coeficiente alfa de Cronbach = 0,90. Conclusões: Os achados sugerem que a BSES é adequada para screening da confiança materna no seu potencial para amamentar. No entanto, é necessário avaliar as propriedades psicométricas deste instrumento em amostra com diferentes níveis sociais e educacionais e em outras regiões do Brasil.

Psychometric and maternal sociodemographic assessment of the breastfeeding self-efficacy scale - short form in a brazilian sample

“…The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .96, and support for predictive validity was demonstrated through positive correlations between BSES scores and infant-feeding practices at 6 weeks postpartum [10] . The translation to Portuguese and psychometric assessment of the full BSES, which was coordinated by a Brazilian nurse research team in the northeast Brazil, is presented elsewhere [11,12] .…”

Autoeficácia na amamentação e duração do aleitamento materno exclusivo entre mães adolescentes

“…It is known that the mother's ability to breastfeed her child (expectancy of self-efficacy) is linked to her emotional and physiological state, with experiences such as fatigue, pain, stress and anxiety reducing this mother's confidence in breastfeeding. (14) Thus, it is assumed that the participants experienced a phase of possible pain, fatigue and / or stress that influenced their confidence to breastfeed when faced with complications during the pregnancy-postpartum cycle.…”

“…The reference population consisted of all adolescent mothers admitted to the maternity unit in rooming-in care with their children. Sample size was calculated with information from the Nursing Annual Report of the maternity where the study was conducted, and previous research involving maternal confidence to breastfeed (14) based on the monthly longitudinal follow-up of the selected sample units. Thus, considering a tolerable sample error of 5%, a 95% confidence level, and a predicted loss of 10%, the sample consisted of 160 adolescent mothers.…”

“…Each question presents five possibilities of response ranging from 1 to 5, being 1-totally disagree; 2-disagree; 3-sometimes agree; 4-agree; t-totally agree. (14) The total score of the instrument varies from 33 to 165 points, and self-efficacy levels in breastfeeding are classified according to the score obtained as follows: low self-efficacy (33 to 118 points), moderate self-efficacy (119 to 137 points), and high self-efficacy (138 to 165 points). Thus, the postpartum women responded whether, and with what intensity, they agreed or disagreed with each statement.…”

Depressão pós-parto e autoeficácia materna para amamentar: prevalência e associação

“…The Technical domain is related to the technical management of breastfeeding, while the Intrapersonal thoughts domain is related to the desire, motivation and satisfaction of women/puerperal women in relation to this practice. (13) For each investigated item, there is a score ranging from 1 (totally disagree) to 5 (totally agree) depending on the woman's response. The total score ranges from 33 to 165 points.…”
